    This looks like an excellent traction helper and it just plain looks trick.

    Axle Tube Brace

    Looks like about $350 for the axle tube brace, cap support cover and stud kits.

    On the list she goes...

    Ohhhhhhhh, but it would just look so trick along side a set of CalTracs

    I'll be over at Gateway Intl watching the the NHRA Nationals this Fri/Sat/Sun. Maybe I can find a mountain motor

    Interesting. I'm going to give way to a 9.5" SF before I spend any money on an 8.5". With the OD of 0.75:1 in the 80E and a 4.10:1 that'll put me at 2200rpm@70mph, just where I want to be.

    Hopefully I can sell that 8.5" rear disc to recoup some of the loss. I'm just seeing if an OBS 9.5" housing can accept NBS 9.5" 6 lug parts on the TB SS, VHO, and 2x4 SS. Should be interesting to see how this pans out.

    I'd like to see that 9.25" IFS under there but hell, I need to find someone with an LD2500 to see if that's attainable or not. I believe those are slightly beefier 1500s but am not sure.

    This is alot like the publicly available web-based subnetwork calculators we use to set up IP networks. Very useful, but hey, that's boring work crap
